Application for University of Saskatchewan entry level (PGY1) positions in Royal College of Physicians & Surgeons of Canada specialty training programs or first-year Family Medicine training programs must be made through the Canadian Resident Matching Service (CaRMS). CaRMS is a not-for-profit organization that works in close cooperation with the medical education community, medical schools and students to provide an electronic application service and a computer match for entry into postgraduate medical training throughout Canada.
All applicants must be Canadian Citizens, Permanent Residents or Landed Immigrants at the time of application. As proof of citizenship, applicants must submit a notarized/certified photocopy of one the following documents:
All PGY-1 residents are required to have completed an ACLS course prior to commencement of training. Proof of ACLS certification is required before successful CaRMS applicants can start their training programs at the University of Saskatchewan on July 1st. NOTE: It is often difficult to register for ACLS courses as they fill up quickly and there may not be many course offerings between the CaRMS match dates and the start of the training program. To register for an ACLS course, contact your provincial Heart and Stroke Foundation or the University of Saskatchewan, Division of Continuing Professional Learning.
In order to commence and continue in Postgraduate Medical Education training programs, successful applicants must be eligible for and maintain privileges within the Saskatchewan Health Region as determined by their credentialing process. Saskatchewan Health Regions require successful applicants to submit a current criminal record check (issued within the last 90 days at the time of application) as part of their pre-resident application for appointment. Applicants with criminal records will be considered on a case by case basis by the College of Medicine in consultation with the Health Region.
For the protection of the individual resident and their patients, all new appointments to College of Medicine postgraduate training programs are required to submit immunization records and proof of immunity (titres) to the health region(s) in which they will be working.
